Performance Degradation in West Europe – 01/19 – Mitigated

We’ve confirmed that all systems are back to normal as of 2017-01-19 11:30 UTC. Our logs show the incident started on 2017-01-19 10:30 UTC and that during the 1 hour that it took to resolve the issue customers might have experienced slow and failed commands while using Visual Studio Team Services in the Western Europe region. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Root Cause: Initial investigation points to issues on two of our backend web tiers which have been since recycled. We continue to investigate towards full understanding of the root cause.
